Writer's Blog

I am hoping by now some of you have defeated the dreaded writer's block and are happily scribbling away. But if the muse continues to elude you, here is my tip 7. Now this is going to sound a trifle weird but I'm told, on good authority, it works! It's called the Glass of Water technique. Before you go to bed, fill a glass with water. Hold it up and speak to it, yes, speak to it. Voice your intention. You might say: I intend to write fluently and crestively tomorrow, or I choose to discover a way forward for my characters' stories, or as I sleep and dream, any prpblems with moving my plot forward will be resolved.Drink half the water and stand the glass by your bed. When you wake, drink the other half then go straight to your computer and write for at least an hour. Do this for three nights. Give it a try, it works.

At last, you will know what happened to Judith Goldstein after her tragic accident and return to America. In MONET'S SHADOW the sequel to my novel MONET'S ANGELS we meet an older and possibly wiser Judith hell bent on preventing history repeating itself. Out soon.
